And the wait for KTM fans is finally over as the Austrian bike maker has officially unveiled the 2022 KTM 390 Adventure in the International market. The new 390 Adventure has arrived with its own set of cosmetic updates and features.
Here’s what we can discern in the new 2022 KTM 390 Adventure.
2022 KTM 390 Adventure Overview
As minimal as possible, the new KTM 390 Adventure features a distinctive KTM-Style bodywork, providing excellent ergonomics and an aggressive look inspired by the rally bikes.
Built around a compact 373 cc single-cylinder powerplant with a capable, lightweight chassis and class-leading electronics, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE encourages you to find new frontiers with the unmatched capability and excitement you'd expected from a KTM ADVENTURE machine. Featuring an updated design for 2022, the KTM 390 ADVENTURE is now also visually aligned with the Dakar winning KTM FACTORY RALLY machines.
The engine is equipped with an electric starter and achieves a peak power of 43bhp and a punchy 37Nm of torque. This one is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Moreover, the WP Apex suspension upfront and rear work together perfectly with the chassis to provide comfort, control and the clearance to venture down more challenging roads.
The 2022 KTM 390 Adventure features split seats that provide unmatched comfort and rider control for long riders. Having narrower front seats, the bike is suitable for short riders as well. The KTM PowerParts team has also specifically developed different seats to match individual customer needs from comfort to riding style.
The new 390 Adventure now also comes with Street and Off-Road traction modes. These modes automatically kick in to adjust rear-wheel slip according to the available traction state.
Other key features of the new 390 Adventure include LED headlamps, windscreen, LED daytime running lights, dual-channel ABS, a TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity, and a 12V socket.
The adventure machine is available in two color options: Black -Orange, and the new Blue-Orange.
The new KTM 390 Adventure might arrive in India around a price tag of 3.30 lakhs. Its main competitor will be the Royal Enfield Himalayan, and BMW 310GS.
